Mixed Media Layout - Will love you FOREVER

Hey, hello!

I'm so excited for becoming an auntie that I couldn't help myself and made a layout with one of the first ultrasounds of the baby. It is amazing how it can be seen that there is already a tiny human being of 47.5 mm in there!! And moving arms and legs as dancing... 😍

It wasn't easy to choose an appropriate paper for this layout... I didn't want anything too childish, too obvious, too flashy... but either too plain or dull. I finally found and old BoBunny Christmas paper that was perfect. I added color with Lindy's Magical Shakers, and as my sister loves rainbows I made it super colorful and happy. This baby is a blessing for the whole family.

I added some texture with transparent texture paste and a stencil full of little stars that looked almost invisible until they absorbed the color creating a magical effect; I also stamped some little bees here and there. Then I laid some leftover scrap papers form different baby collections by Fabrika Decoru and the ultrasound on top. You can click the photos to see them bigger and see details.

I made my own chipboards with my Silhouette and during the process I realized this project was perfect for February's More Than Words Challenge!!! So besides the circle with "life happening", I cut out a FOREVER too. Then added some hearts here and there with a stamp, chippies and even a badge!

It just needed some little details, but not too much stuff cause I wanted the ultrasound to be the focal point. Just some tiny flowers, sequins and big glitter points. And to make it complete, I glued the sentences. I have to say my sister loved it when I gave it to her. 💕
